[edit] balance

This article is essentially some fan of Yusuf Ali's opinion about Shuaib's identity. From my experience, it is a minor opinion. I think the obsession with it in the article destroys the article's NPOV. --Ephilei (talk) 01:40, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree... the article is 80% quotation of footnotes of a 1946 translation of the Qur'an, which is hardly conclusive and certainly not informed... I recommend we reduce all the quotes to a citation plus a declarative sentence - "Some commentators do not agree on the identity of Shu'ayb and Jethro, such as translator Yusuf Ali. < ref >" Should I just do it? em zilch (talk) 21:35, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
